Do you guy with RX-1 feel that gearing down one tooth on top is worth the top end loss? I think I read a few guys with Warroirs were gearing up to the 24 last year.

I geared down on my 03 RX-1 & was slower down low, mid & top end. I lost performance everywhere!!!

You are unique. Dropping a tooth will definitely lose a few on top end. Stay with the 24 tooth gear.

I stretched my 03 to 136" and geared down to 23 tooth. Lost some top end and went back to the 24 gear. No loss in holeshot that I could tell and got my top end back
